Earthquake Fault!

Stopped to see the large fissure in the earth just outside the main
lodge at Mammoth Mountain. It is only a few feet wide, but very deep.
There is snow at the bottom...I'll bet the sun hardly ever finds it's
way to the bottom of the crack! It is amazing how the earth can have
such strong forces. It can rip a hole in the earth, or cause
mountains to rise from the floor of an ocean, or a glacier can carry
mountains away. Very crazy!
